I can't believe you had the interview but not the performance, come on now, why cut out the best part. I'd rather listened to Betty than hear Tom Snyder's dumb questions.

LOL, I can tell Betty was getting a little irritated with Tom Snyder's ignorant questions though. The whole jazz singer, vs singer. Wow..

You can tell how dated this interview is, because jazz is now an accepted and well respected genre of music that is embraced in universities and schools across the globe. I am glad that some 30 years later, this remarkable attitude towards jazz has come full circle. I only wish Ms. Carter was still with us, but she lives on through Youtube. Thanks for the great upload.

Not only did jazz develop in bars, it got lots of play in whore houses, too. All good with me. Jazz lives where life lives.
